“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms, she moved the fold of cloth gently to look upon his tiny face. Dumbfounded（目瞪口呆的）, she held her breath and tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. The doctor turned his head quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. However, time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was a pity.
One day, when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother's arms, he cried out bitterly and told his mum in a choked voice, “A boy, a big boy...called me a freak（怪人）.” The mother sighed, knowing that his life was to be full of endless unfortunate heartbreaks.
Though the misfortune happened to him, he grew up into a handsome boy. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for the ears. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others. “But you might communicate with other young people,” his mother blamed him, with a kindness in her heart.
The boy's father talked with the family doctor about his ears. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “I believe we could transplant on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated,” the doctor replied. From then on, the search for a person, who was willing to make such a sacrifice, began.
How time flew! Two years went by. One day, the father said to the son, “You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have found someone who will donate the ears you need. But remember it's a secret.”
